BOY I'D LOVE
TO HAVE THAT CAR
I WHISPERED TO MY DAD
I'VE ALWAYS HEARD
A MUSTANG FLIES
WE COULD FIX IT UP
AND MAKE IT NEW AGAIN
ALL IT NEEDS
IS JUST A LITTLE TIME
DADDY'S HARDLY
EVER HOME
SINCE MAMA
PASSED AWAY
HE'S ALWAYS
WORKIN' OVERTIME
I KNOW THAT
HE CANNOT
AFFORD TO
BUY THAT CAR
EVEN THOUGH
HE'D LOVE TO
MAKE IT MINE
IT'S NOT THE CAR
THAT I'M NEEDIN'
JUST A CHANCE
TO BE WITH HIM
I KNOW THAT ONCE
THESE DAYS
ROLL PAST US
THEY WILL
NEVER COME AGAIN
SO LITTLE TIME
AND WE SPEND
WAY TOO MUCH APART
THERE WOULD
ALWAYS BE
A PART OF US
TOGETHER IN THAT CAR
FINALLY LET GO
OF THAT DREAM
AND THE TIME
WE COULD HAVE SHARED
IT WAS A
DISTANT MEMORY
UNTIL LAST FALL
A CALL CAME
SAYIN' DAD WAS GONE
COULD I COME QUICK
HE LEFT A NOTE FOR ME
BURIED DAD
RIGHT NEXT TO MOM
UP ON CROWLEY'S RIDGE
AND THERE I SAID
MY LAST GOODBYE
I OPENED UP THE NOTE
AND FOUND
A SET OF KEYS
HERE'S YOUR CAR SON
I HOPE IT FLIES
IT'S NOT THE CAR
THAT YOU'RE NEEDIN'
BUT IT'S MY CHANCE
TO BE WITH YOU
I HOPE
YOU UNDERSTAND
I ALWAYS DID
THE BEST
THAT I COULD DO
SO LITTLE TIME
AND WE SPENT
WAY TOO MUCH APART
AND THERE WILL
ALWAYS BE
A PART OF US
TOGETHER IN THAT CAR
AND THERE WILL
ALWAYS BE
A PART OF US
TOGETHER IN THAT CAR
